Flanders for Flandriens
Tour of Flanders - Red Loop
Tour all the best points of the Tour of Flanders. This route passes through the Flemish Ardennes to arrive at the mythical Muur van Geraardsbergen. If you make it up this cobbled climb with its gradients of up to 20%, an iconic little chapel awaits you at the summit. A good place to muster the faith you need to take on other classic climbs such as the Berendries and Bosberg.

There are few cycling sprints more challenging. This route will prove it. It starts at the legendary Kemmelberg and then proceeds along the Franco-Belgian border. Those who are Flandriens in their souls get a chance to take on the cobbles, plugstreets, nasty hills and headwinds in and around Flanders Fields.
Eddy Merckx Route
Eddy Merckx, cycling’s one true GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) and a Belgian hero forevermore. This route starts in Meensel where Eddy was born and proceeds along the roads where he first trained as a youth. Sacred ground, in other words.
